কন্যা দিতে নারিবে, হবে অসত্য-বচন ।
পুনরপি কহে বিপ্র করিয়া যতন ॥ ৭০ ॥
kanya dite naribe, habe asatya-vacana
punarapi kahe vipra kariya yatana
kanya-daughter; dite-to give; naribe-you will not be able; habe-it will become; asatya-vacana-a false statement; punarapi-again; kahe-he says; vipra-the brahmana; kariya yatana-with great attention.
"'My dear sir, you will not be able to fulfill your promise. Your promise will be broken.' Yet, again and again the brahmana emphasized his promise.
